The potential for a Krug vintage champagne is identified during the blending of Krug Grande Cuvée. Once the non-vintage blend has been secured and all of the reserves earmarked, the wines displaying the most pronounced character of the vintage are blended to create the vintage champagne.

Instantly, the eye is engaged by Krug 1995’s lustrous pale gold colour and playful streams of bubbles. On the nose, delights by its rare combination of ripeness and delicacy, its fragrant hints of white flowers, freshly baked gingerbread and candied fruits alongside ripe melon. In the mouth, Krug 1995 is generous and full, velvety with a hint of almonds and honey, perfectly balanced with fresh citrus fruits, even pink grapefruit enhanced by a remarkable finish.

Krug 1995 is the second vintage of the nineties after Krug 1990. Classic, charismatic and utterly charming, Krug 1995 brings its own vivacious personality to the legendary Krug style. At the time, Remi Krug said it reminded him of classic beauties of 1969 and 1979, although he stressed, “this vintage is first and foremost an individual, which is exactly what people treasure about Krug”. Every Krug Vintage is a different story. Together with Krug’s other Champagnes, it has made Krug the world’s best-rated Champagne for years and like all Krug Champagnes, it can age beautifully.

Mild winter, rainy with two short periods of frost in January and March. Sunny and warm spring, then a few frosts end of April. Long period of heat from end of June to the harvest completed the cycle giving wines with great level of fruit and expression while having a high level of freshness, a promise of elegance and length.
